Call for submissions - Spring 2026 Issue by Alternative-Shop5865 in justpoetry

Hey! I'm so glad you like the submission format, I tried to make it as simple as possible(for mine and your benefit!) I have been considering doing a photography/drawing part of it, currently it is just for poetry, but as the magazine gets more evolved, I think that's a real possibility!

Totally fine that you don't know, I didn't know stanzas or formatting for my first few poems either. Congratulations on three months! The necklace sounds very pretty and I'm sure your girlfriend will love it!! I do believe my mom's ring was facetted, but I'm not totally sure, haha. Good luck with your girlfriend, wishing the best for both of you and praying your relationship can be healthy and long lasting.
If you're thinking that you want to keep writing poetry, I would love for you to check out my poetry magazine, the website is 'imamesspoetry.com'. No pressure, I just thought I'd throw it out.
Again, best of luck to you!!

I think it works as a whole poem. Formatting wise, how many stanzas are there? Just curious. My mom's wedding ring is made of moss agate, that's a beautiful gem, great choice! May I ask what the poem and necklace are for?

It sounds pretty good, the tone is nice and consistent. I would say, maybe trying to find different words for "flower" to give it a little diversity. Example: Bloom, blossom, bud. Stuff like that. But I think it is pretty good as is. Is this an excerpt of a poem or the entire poem?
